BUCKINGHAM PALACE HOSTS ITS FIRST FOOTBALL MATCH
Buckingham Palace has held its first official football match to mark the Football Association's 150th anniversary. The event was the idea of FA president Prince William.
London side Civil Service Football Club, the only surviving team of 11 that formed the Football Association on 26th October 1863, lost 2-1 against Polytechnic FC, set up in 1875.
At half-time, palace staff carried water, orange slices and chocolate bars onto the pitch for the players. During the second half, the prince and Michael Owen, a former England striker, joined in a training session with royal staff.
The prince, who presented medals to 150 volunteers before the kick-off, recognised the efforts of the founders of local clubs, coaches, referees and other officials at a reception to celebrate the anniversary on 7th October. The prince told the guests, "Over its 150 years, football has remained a wonderful example of the power of community and of our ability to come together to organise and to enjoy a simple pastime."
The Queen gave permission for the match to take place at the palace. The prince joked: "Today we will be playing football on my grandmother's lawn. One warning, though – if anyone breaks a window, you can answer to her."
Wembley groundsman Tony Stones worked with royal household gardeners to create the pitch in the 39-acre garden. The lawn had to be repaired following garden parties and the Coronation Festival in the summer.
Civil Service FC were selected to take part in the game and they suggested Polytechnic, also based in Chiswick, west London, as opponents. Polytechnic FC manager said: "We first played 120 years ago – so there's a fair bit of history between the two of us."
